Birdseye Maple is not technically a distinct species of Maple, but rather, it’s a figure that’s occasionally found in Sugar Maple trees. Great to use as a contrast to another, darker wood or even regular maple.

Has a light to medium brown color. Medium-to-large pores and a fairly coarse grain. Often found in flooring so a good decorative match, especially in a rustic environment.

A domestic species, light pinkish brown when freshly cut, darkening to a deeper golden brown with time and upon exposure to light. Has a fine texture with a close grain. The grain is usually straight and easy to work – with the exception of figured pieces with curly grain patterns which are sometimes available. This characteristic looks even more beautiful under water, so it is our most popular wood choice.

Heartwood tends to be a medium to dark brown, sometimes with a reddish or purplish hue; some pieces may have streaks of yellowish or greenish brown.
